A popular Chicago pizza chain is coming to Greenwood.
Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria announced Monday it would be opening its fourth central Indiana location this summer, with construction to begin this spring. The restaurant is moving into a 1,400-square-foot space at the Shops at Smith Valley shopping center, 791 S. State Road 135, according to a news release.
The pizzeria is famous for its deep-dish pizzas. It will also offer thin-crust pizza, appetizers, salads, pastas and desserts. Lou Malnati’s has been operating since 1971, according to the news release.
Lou Malnati’s Greenwood location will not have a dining room, but will offer carryout, delivery and drop-off catering services, the news release says.
The Greenwood location will hire 50 employees, and will host a hiring event to fill some of the positions over the next few months, according to the news release.
The company says it will continue a long-time tradition of giving back to the communities they serve by working with youth incentive programs, donation programs and local charities, the news release says.
“Since our first location opened in the greater Indianapolis-area, we’ve been welcomed with Hoosier hospitality and are so grateful to our loyal fan base who have been instrumental in helping us expand our footprint,” Marc Malnati, owner of Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria, said in a statement. “Our team is excited to bring our authentic Chicago-style deep dish pizza to Greenwood and become immersed in the growing community.”
